A tragic incident unfolded outside Loretto Hospital earlier this week, resulting in the death of Uber Eats driver Daniel Figueroa. Figueroa, a 28-year-old from Downers Grove, was working a side job for the food delivery company when he was fatally injured during a carjacking in the early hours of the morning.
Surveillance footage captured the harrowing moment when Figueroa was dragged by the vehicle for a significant distance before being run over by the carjacker, ultimately leading to his untimely death. Montoya Perry, a 33-year-old woman from Maywood, is facing charges of murder during the commission of a forcible felony and vehicular hijacking in connection to the incident. While Perry is in custody, authorities are still searching for the other individuals involved in the crime.
The devastating loss of Figueroa has left his family and loved ones reeling with grief. His father, Carlos Figueroa, expressed his anguish over the senseless tragedy, lamenting that he had moved away from the city in hopes of providing a better life for his children, only to have his son taken from him in such a horrific manner.
Meanwhile, Figueroa’s longtime girlfriend, Sandra Guerrero, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help cope with the financial challenges brought about by his passing. Guerrero described Figueroa as the main provider for their household and emphasized the overwhelming burden she now faces as she tries to navigate life without him.
As the community mourns the loss of a beloved member, the outpouring of support through donations, prayers, and shared fundraisers serves as a beacon of hope in the midst of profound sorrow. The impact of Figueroa’s death reverberates through the hearts of those who knew him, reminding us all of the fragility of life and the importance of coming together in times of tragedy.
